Efficacy and Safety of Oral Orforglipron in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Multicentre, Randomised, Dose-Response, Phase 2 Study

Lancet. 2023. DOI: 10.1016/S0140-6736(23)01302-8

Orforglipron, an oral, non-peptide GLP-1RA, was assessed at various once-daily doses (3 mg, 12 mg, 24 mg, 36 mg, 45 mg) and dose-escalation schedules vs placebo and dulaglutide in 383 patients with T2D, with or without metformin, and BMI ≥23 kg/m2, with no food or water restrictions.

Efficacy and Safety of Co-Administered Once-weekly Cagrilintide 2.4 mg with Once-Weekly Semaglutide 2.4 mg in Type 2 Diabetes: a Multicentre, Randomised, Double-Blind, Active-Controlled, Phase 2 Trial

Lancet. 2023. DOI: 10.1016/ S0140-6736(23)01163-7

Combining the GLP-1 RA semaglutide with the long-acting amylin analogue cagrilintide has been shown to have weight-loss benefits. However, the impact of the combination of cagrilintide and semaglutide (CagriSema) on HbA1c is unknown. In a 32-week, double-blind, phase 2 trial, 92 adults with T2D and a BMI ≥27 kg/m2 on metformin, with or without an SGLT2i, were randomised to once-weekly subcutaneous CagriSema, semaglutide or cagrilintide (all escalated to 2.4 mg).

The Effects of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2-Inhibitors on Steatosis and Fibrosis in Patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease or Steatohepatitis and Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials

Medicina (Kaunas). 2023;59:1136 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59061136

T2D and NAFLD/NASH share common causal pathways. As a class of glucose-lowering agents with well-established cardiovascular benefits, SGLT2i have been studied for effects on steatosis and fibrosis in patients with NAFLD or NASH. A systematic review was conducted to examine the efficacy of SGLT2i on NAFLD/NASH in patients who also had T2D.

Effect of Canagliflozin on Heart Failure Hospitalization in Diabetes According to Baseline Heart Failure Risk

JACC Heart Fail. 2023. DOI: 10.1016/j.jchf.2023.03.025

In the CANVAS programme, canagliflozin reduced the risk of HF hospitalisation among individuals with T2D. This post hoc analysis evaluated heterogeneity in the treatment effects of canagliflozin on HF hospitalisation according to baseline HF risk as assessed by two diabetes-specific HF risk scores: WATCH-DM (for participants without prevalent HF) and TRS-HFDM (all participants).

Effects of Dapagliflozin on Hospitalisations in People with Type 2 Diabetes: Post-hoc Analyses of the DECLARE-TIMI 58 Trial

Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol. 2023;11:233–241 DOI: 10.1016/S2213-8587(23)00009-8

In patients with T2D at high risk of CV or kidney disease, SGLT2is consistently reduce the risk of HF hospitalisations. Less is known about their effects on hospitalisation from any cause, especially in patients with T2D without ASCVD, which includes most of the global population with T2D. Post hoc analyses of DECLARE-TIMI 58 assessed the effect of dapagliflozin on the risks of hospitalisations for any cause and for specific causes in patients with T2D with and without ASCVD.

Outcomes with Finerenone in Participants with Stage 4 CKD and Type 2 Diabetes: A FIDELITY Subgroup Analysis

Clin J Am Soc Nephrol. 2023; online ahead of print DOI: 10.2215/CJN.0000000000000149

Patients with stage 4 CKD and T2D have limited treatment options to reduce their persistent CV and kidney risk. This post hoc analysis of the FIDELITY database evaluated the effect of finerenone vs placebo in 890 patients with stage 4 CKD and T2D.

Effects of Semaglutide on Albuminuria and Kidney Function in People With Overweight or Obesity With or Without Type 2 Diabetes: Exploratory Analysis From the STEP 1, 2, and 3 Trials

Diabetes Care. 2023; online ahead of print DOI: 10.2337/dc22-1889

In the STEP trials, semaglutide markedly reduced body weight and improved glycaemic control in adults with overweight or obesity with/without T2D. However, the effects of semaglutide on albuminuria and eGFR are unknown.

GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and Risk of Adverse Cerebrovascular Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2023; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2022.07.021 10.1210/clinem/dgad076

Although the beneficial effects of GLP-1RAs on major cardiovascular events have been established in patients with T2D, their effects on cerebrovascular outcomes remain undetermined.

Efficacy and Safety of the SGLT2 Inhibitor Empagliflozin versus Placebo and the DPP-4 Inhibitor Linagliptin versus Placebo in Young People with Type 2 Diabetes (DINAMO): a Multicentre, Randomised, Double-blind, Parallel Group, Phase 3 Trial

Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol. 2023; online ahead of print DOI: 10.1016/S2213-8587(22)00387-4

The incidence of T2D in young people is increasing, but treatments remain limited. The double-blind DINAMO trial was conducted in 158 young people (aged 10−17 years) with T2D (HbA1c 6.5-10.5%) who had been previously treated with metformin or insulin. Participants were initially randomised to empagliflozin 10 mg, linagliptin 5 mg or placebo. Participants in the empagliflozin group who did not reach HbA1c <7.0% by week 12 were re-randomised at week 14 to either remain on empagliflozin 10 mg or have their dose increased to 25 mg. Participants in the placebo group were randomised at week 26 to linagliptin 5 mg or one of the empagliflozin doses (10 mg or 25 mg).
